The Shortcut (2009)

The Shortcut Synopsis

A shortcut through the woods saved a lot of time getting to school, but no kids growing up in a suburban neighborhood dared to take it. The trail ran within sight of a scary house with an eerie old man who would accost its travelers with an ominous message to stay away.

Town legend said he was involved in the disappearances of some kids long ago. Now that some of those same kids are in their late teens, they decide to find out the truth about the old man after they learn he’s still at his game.

Back in 2008 we told you about Adam Sandler’s latest venture, a new division of his Happy Madison production company devoted entirely to making horror movies. They’ve dubbed it Scary Madison and their first movie is something called The Shortcut
